* Poems To The Sea

-Saiom Shriver-

AFOOT

The tide is
afoot
in the 10 million
fingers of the sea

ANARCHIC IN THE ANTARCTIC

Cold water penguins warm sea pelicans
one is anarchic in the Antarctic
the other avoids the jello cans

AQUARELLE

Her azure
and aqua skies
are not captured by aquarelles
her sight and sound
and smell
lift us out of hell

.. an infinite blue jewel
framed in the dead past..
her shells

ARRIVE SHE SHALL

Beyond shallows
where
conch has left
his shelter
for a less confining shell
Past sunslivers
quivering
in waves' gentle swell
Away from softly
lappin tidalpools'
diurnal upwell
Daily to her quiet
seasoul
for a brief spell
.. come she shall

BLUE EYES

In the silver setting
are blue sapphires
In the blue rocks
are burning fires.
In the bony sockets
are blue eyes
In the rocky tidepools
are blue skies.

BLUEBLOCK

The place I most want to be
is by.. the blue sky
and by the blue sea
yet I bar these hues
from my home
choosing sunny yellow, enkindling
orange,cups of pink and aqua
and saffron
on walls of vast white

BOTTLED MESSAGE

Grew the palm tree
on a hill oer the sea
and dropped into the blue
her coconut gift free
.. whose bottled message
bobbed on the waves
and wafted to a different shore
where she unscrolled
her message seeds
into palm forests galore

CALL OF THE SEA

Ubiquitous is the voice of the Sea
in the steady raindrops'
beating of the leaky roof's
peachcan drum...
in the trickle of
spring's melting snow
..
in the brook's cheery chirping
wintershaking
as he seaward faster flows

in summer's lightning
and rainpour
in the waterfall's awesome roar

in powerful Mississippi's silent murmur
in the portal waves' omkar*

Millenial temple to Poseidon
stands on his shores..
its granite rectangles
crumbling.. while His
pourable Blueness remains.

Rockgirt tide pools,
and bonegirt eye depths
remind us of Him.

Down from his heights
His Royal Lowness Piscean
calls
his brother
Capricorn
From her crystallized opposition
with the magnetism of His
limitless pull
He calls Mother Earth.

How does he heal? the sea?
With his lowlying humility?
Proud rivers must stoop
to take padnamaskar.
In every conch shell
hear his gulls.
In every place where
lovewaters gather and pool..
hear his call..
summoning all to his
vastness his majesty

Sooner or later every drop
will
rush to His call.

(to the 12th chamber in everyone's
soul mansion)

* based on Baba's sentence
(to the Avatar and all His children drops)
(padnamaskar: touching the feet of the Guru

COBBLER

I am the tree
which made the
peach which
became the cobbler,
said the peachtree.
I cobbled the street,
said the stone.
I cobbled the sea,
said the wind.
I made the wind
so I cobbled the sea,
said God.

COCONUT PITCHER

The full moon poured
pitcher after pitcher
of coconut milk
into the sea..
and the sea..
she silvered it all.

DONEGALWAY

So many sires
he had in Donegal
.. so many
foremothers in Galway
..he was
made of
Donegalway
...in every
cell of his being
calls the sea
to itself

CONFIDES

The silent sea to
her confides
that though daily
do his highest tides
subside and to
depths slide...
in form and formless
he stays
by her side
He ever does
with her abide.

CRASHING ATLANTIC

We do not always want
the sea
to be at peace
.. or to be specific
we don't always want
a pacific Pacific

at times we want to
stand on a mountain
above
and watch the waves
crash upon the rocks
.. the sound is
shakti itself

CURRENTS

Sad was
The sea of being
that
she was not
a river of doing
so God gave her
currents.

While the woodpecker
wooed the woods
with his whittling
she carved caves.
*

DIRECTOR'S CHAIR

Pat Leigh asked God who her
teacher was and was given a vision of a director's chair
facing the ocean.
Only God can box the sea…
I think of her
When I see a lifeguard chair..
on the sands
instead of in the shallow
sea
(Please pray for Pat Leigh)

DO NOT DISTURB

God has put a 'do not disturb'
sign
over the green shelled lobsters
and limpets
cozily nesting
in lime waters limpid

DORIES ANCHOR

Quiet Peace of Eve
Fishing dories
anchor..
lapping
Grateful are fishes.

DREAM OF PIER

She walked to the edge
of the pier.. the
Sea of God beckoned
to her.. but she could
not bring the discs
she clasped in her
hand with her..
and sadly turned around
.. never mind.. there will
come a time
when her strongest urge
is with God to merge

DRIFTWOOD BRANCH

Driftwood gift the sea did bleach
Tide has left upon the beach.
Driftwood gift: seacarved branch
the sea has helped the sun to blanche

DRIFTWOOD STREWN

The shore may be
with seaweed and shells
and driftwood strewn
but the open uncluttered
space of sky and sea..
.. as soon as it's smelled...
... pours in the peace

DUNE GRASS BRUSHES

From the shore.. one looks
upward to the sanddune grass..
10,000
green brushes trying
where they laid
to paint the blue sky
jade blush

ENTERING THE TEMPLE

Children enter the temple of thesea splashing raucously
Older souls
enter with reverence
slowly silently
They enterthe shrine of the sea.

FOAM LACE TABLE CLOTH

Mother Earth set daisy tables that
upon them bees might sit.

Mother Earth
set buttercups
that from them
bees might sip sunup

Mother Sea.. threw a foamlace
tablecloth over the flat rock
in the bay..
that her fishies might dine..
and when they were finished
she slid it off and sudsed the
rock clean with her surf.

FOREST OF MASTS

The forest of pine
and its clean scent
gives way
to the salt air and
to the forest of
the masts of the fleet

.. as she in the harbor
floats
...gulls round ships
circle in flight
..soon the sails too
will pon sea take flight
*

GULL STACCATO'D

He says the sea
forever chants omkar
as she abides
reflecting the stars..
.. gull staccato'd
.. their screams counterpoint
her invulnerable ananda.

HURRICANE KATE

Hurricane Kate
forced proud palms
to padnamasakar
the humble ocean

Because she the sea
everywhere has feet
it's not hard for them
to show their devotion

INGATHERER

As the sea does each drop,
all rivers ingather
so flows every soul
to God Mother Father

IT RAINS AT SEA

Rain on the sea....
a redundancy?
as are reflected fires
neath ignited stars?

giving back a tiny
peace of the love God pours

IT SNOWS AT SEA

It Snows At Sea
Quiet
Falls

in flakes

Melting designs

leave form
for All.

LAVA TURNED TO JEWELS

She the sea.. receives red hot lava
and transmutes it
into green glass jewels
while on land pressure turns
charcoal's black chalk into translucent
diamonds.
She the listening compassionate
ear turns anger into
love.

MAVOORNING

Out of the sea
the sun aborning
with his awesome
light of morning
Not adorned
but all adorning
says to you
"Come!
My Mavoorning!"
*

MERE'S MIRRORS

A storm tossed sea reflects
a fractured Sun
as if God were chaotic

The silent ocean
of no motion

mirrors God's miracles
and mercy..
in the mere.
Even those moored
on the shore
harvest the bliss

MILLION TONGUED SEA

Some say the sea is sibilant
Others that she is engaged in om-ing
... that she roars and crashes
or kisses the sand
or slaps the pier
or murmurs beneath the moonlight
.. a million sounds of the sea..
Recording angels' scrolls

NEPTUNE AND THE MOON

The full moon
is a
mate of Neptune
Into the silent
mirroring sea
was thrown a stone
which shattered her face
but calm was restored
and the healed icon
was ensconced
once again in her
watery throne...
He did her array
in azure seaspray
.. and made
a necklace
which heightened her
rays and
let not the slightest
drop go astray

NEPTUNE'S HAIR

Neptune's hair
its wavelet strands
melted the castles
in the sands
but further inland
with his tidal hand
sent coconuts
onto the shining sands
which have become
a palm tree stand

NUTSHELLS AND SEASCAPES

On the left, her haiku..
Sanskrit seaweed script
capsulized as beautifully
as any tiny nut in a shell..
On the right, her seascapes... infinite
in their endless joy

*
OCEAN CROWN

Changing landscapes
but not the seascape..
one cannot look at its surface and know if it
is 2003 BC or 2000 AD
Neath the wingweave of gulls..
they tossed a wreath upon her to give her a crown
How absurd.. this tiny little crown.. upon her infinite
immensity.. but she is not interested
in honors from earth..and she swept it to the shore

OF LOONS AND PENGUINS
SANDPIPERS AND PELICANS

Because of her God
will sooner bring
a world of no more suffering
.. where none are swallowing
a chicken's or a swallow wing.

Over fields all fallowing
rise flocks of follow Wings
.. feeling holy Spirit Wings
.. all flying birds His following.

PEACEMAKERS PEACEBREAKERS

At times they crash upon the shore
.. sometimes they gently lap
sometimes.. they roll
sometimes they scroll
these waves.. these peacebreakers
.. never breaking the peace..
these peacemakers
Remove the need for pacemakers

POSEIDON TEMPLE

Millenia ago
sealovers built
to Poseidon
a temple by the
sea..
they hoped
it might outlast the sea..
with its marble pillars
by the sea's wave pillows
with its rockhard stability
..and unfishy sterility
by the sea's
ancient senility..
As it has crumbled
into seagirting sand
it seems to have
multiplied everywhere..
in blue wavewashed tidal pools
..(resembling blue eyes
set within noble brows)
.. they lead
to their master:
the Sea Eternal

RED CARPET

The sea unfolds her carpet of silver waves
with constancy..
yet at daybreak and dusk the sun wands it into
an unrolling welcoming red carpet.

RESURRECTING SEA

How does the sea heal?

He is trustworthy
Greater than the seal of
the confessional
is the secrecy of the sea.

He is freeing.
I look upon the vast empty canvass
of his seas
and I am released..
free to write my destiny.

He is resurrecting.
As his waves crash upon the rocks
he reconnects me to divine energy.

He is harmony.
My body begins to beat to
the rhythm of his waves
and I return to peace

ROCK TO ROOKERY

Solid hard rock Sculpted by the sea
Through the centuries Into a rookery
The sea upwelling into this bird
Apartment dwelling

ROCKING CRADLE

Rocking Cradle of the World
Sunset Stairway to the Stars
Only by Great Masters Trod
Only Written on by God.
*

SANDSCRIPT

The sandscript by seaweed strewn
has been erased by the rising tide
and the writ of clouds' calligraphy
has been in the eve rained away
Spirals of mountain morn mist
by the noon sun were dismissed
but all on canvas, film and
rice paper remain
and all in akasha remain

SCHUYLKILL

The Schuylkill
does no fish schools kill
When she encounters a rock
the river never stops
never stops growing
.. she keeps rising
or seeping....or flowing
Past banks flowering she will flow
.. she will arrive
.. to merge in her Love, the Sea
and In him in joy to dive
*

SCULPTOR

They argued whether Michelangelo's Pieta
or Kamakura's Amita Buddha was greater...
while yonder
is the sea wonder
whose chisel
has in 1 place turned the rock into rookery
while elsewhere she pummeled
boulders into little rocks and then to sand..
She has whittled the driftwood
has etched stairs in the cliff
and carved sea caves...

We see
that the oarcleft sea
returns to whole

...while water is the master

as love is the most powerful
miracleworker
*

SEA HEALER

Whenever she feels
blocked..
she goes to the
sea
where waves
crash over the
rocks

see the unbounded sky
and the emerald necklace
of seaweed
by seeds shore strewn
and then shore sewn

and the sun melting
its gold delight
at dawn into
the azure light

and begin to feel
the energy of joy
being unlocked

SEA NILE

Where to salt water
turns the sweet
Where aqua becomes
deep navy
Where robins slowly
become sea gulls
And the linear
to spherical
gives sway

is where the
sea is wed
to Nile..
Some thought
the Nile
was senile..
but he was far beyond
earth's cares
merged in the ecstasy
.. of the ebbtide sea
.. only a murmuring
to say where he'd merged

SEA PITCHER

I gave him a pitcher.
He gave me the sea.

SEA RECEIVES ALL
LONELY RIVERS

Receives all arrows
the universal quiver
as the sea receives
all lonely rivers
as the sea purifies
all polluted rivers
as the sea
calms all
ruffled rivers

*
SEACARVED CAVES

How the softly lapping ocean waves..
with patient chisels .. lick and lave..
sculpting new seacarved caves
And standing kneedeep
in her shallows
the rocksshe has turned to rookeries ..some places
turning convex to concave.. in others new holes she has made
Beyond the
world of skill She has sculpted the coral reef to make room for the
scallops but inland the falls roar the falls thunder faster breaking rocks
asunder as Spirit too can make new holes in hearts of stone

*SEACHANGER

One goes to the sea
When afflicted with anger
By her calm shores
gulls are no strangers
..
in the quiet pools..
the sea's little mangers
.. She rocks us to peace..
with God.. the Seachanger

SEACHARGE

The sea
charges the shore
and withdraws
to charge some more.

SEAGULLS

Not arrow grasping
bunny attacking
eagles
but the melodious
singing shipcircling
seagulls

...
not lone stalkers
.. no.. each of them
equal
to his sequel

SEAS OF PEACE

The tides of the seas
do wane and cease..
but the waves of the sea
have no surcease..
These restless waves
do give us peace..
all on her shores healed
by her perfect peace.

SERMON OF THE SEA

What is the silent sermon
of the sea
she bequeaths to each mermaid and merman
she in seaweed wreathes.
What is her legacy
in each leg of the sea?
Accept all lonely rivers..
Don't strive.. just be
Offer your self to God the Sun
Be at peace beneath
gulls' staccato shrieks.

SHROUD TO SAIL

The shroud in which she did lie
is now sail for ship of joy.
Her tomb's boulder now
the cornerstone of resurrection.
The mist which clouded mirror
of soul
replaced by God's reflection
and ice of pain on sea did
melt..
it now flashes sun's perfection.
*

SMELL OF THE SEA

Windsent seascent
The smell of shells

SMOKE AND MIRRORS

Every morn
the sea reborn
is smoke and mirrors..
fog and reflection.

*
SNAKE WAVES

Snake waves curl back their hoods
to strike the shore..
then like
snails they leave a translucent trail..
a sunsparked veil
*

SPARKLING REFUSE

They dig trenches
in the sand and bury
their father neckdeep
while with the sparkling
refuse their mother
makes sandcastles

SWALLOW THE SHALLOWS

In his becalmed depths
the sea swallows
the waves he caused
in shellsheltering shallows.
*

THE TIDE SHALL RETURN

Sudden showers
swell the shallows
of the seceding
sea

THREE WAVE STEPS

3 tiers
of waves
.. each of them
starred by the
diamond sun
3 rings
.. a triple crown
.. for the horse
as she entered the sea

UNBOTTLED MESSAGE

With a rare wave
Bottled messages
float to the shore
but with each wavelet
the sea's unbottled
message is
'they love you ever more'

WALKING ON WATER

He who can
control
the ocean's roll
He who can walk
on the sea's liquid
scroll… only Him..
Great Soul

WATER HELD THE QUILL

Faster than any stylus squiggling
Can write the sun in the water wiggling
But when the sea is perfectly still
it appears it was water which held
the quill.
WAY OVER WAVES

waves break the lightway
across the waters into pieces
but if the direction is maintained
one finds again the path to peace

TEMPLE OF THE SEA

Under the rays of the ocean moon
one sees the rocky temple of Neptune.
The temple is gray but its deity
sea is blue.
The temple is frozen in form.. the
sea is flexible and formless.
The temple has fallen stones
but unchanged is the seathrone.

SANDSCRIPT

Poseidon
stands on his shores..
its granite rectangles
crumbling.. while His
pourable Blueness remains.

Rockgirt tide pools,
and bonegirt eye depths
remind us of Him.

Sooner or later every drop
will
rush to His call.

* based on Baba's sentence
(to the Avatar and all His children drops)
(padnamaskar: touching the feet of the Guru)

FOREST OF MASTS

The forest of pine
and its clean scent
gives way
to the salt air and
to the forest of
the masts of the fleet

.. as she in the harbor
floats
...gulls round ships
circle in flight
..soon the sails too
will pon sea take flight

THE TIDE SHALL RETURN

Sudden showers
swell the shallows
of the seceding
sea

Recording Angels' Scrolls

Snow flakes lose their hexagonal stars
in the sea
There the river sheds his serpentine skin.
Sand castles' towers fall in the waves.
Sandpipers' tracks... script
of ancient Sanskrit
are gone in the tide.
And the lace foam the breakers have
woven in their travels
The ocean has pulled back.
The lace she unravels.

And yet every jot and tittle remains
not only in the recording angels'
scrolls
which those who read akashic records
can unroll
but in the Godly power within each
heart
to recreate.

It is the erasing of the easel
of sand and sky which invites
new seaweed scrawl
upon her rocky walls.

SHORT POEMS TO THE SEA

Wavecarved caves in the seagirt rock.. have wanded it into a seagulled rookery..
*
Rain at sea... redundancy
*
We gave him a pitcher. He gave us the sea
*
The tide sent into the cleft of rock Neptune's polyfingered hand of welcome
*
As the sea does each drop, all rivers ingather
so flows every soul to God Mother Father
*
Rocking cradle of the world.. sunset stairway to the stars.. only by great
masters trod... only written on by God

*
That sand not soon turn the beachfence into driftwood
the sculptor designed a metal seat.
*
From the shore.. one looks upward
to the sanddune grass..10,000 green brush blades
trying to paint the blue sky jade*
*
Faster than any stylus squiggling.. can write the sun
in the water wiggling... but when the sea is perfectly still..
it appears it was water which held the quill
*
Receives all arrows the universal quiver
as the sea receives all lonely rivers
*
Daily the sea with tidal milk waves
nurses in love her hungrymouthed caves
*
Today in their palate of many hues
the sky and sea have 20 shades of blue
*
Little petstore goldfishes.. suffocating in the tiny plastic bag.. God set you
free..into the sea

Gentler than land's are the seasons of the seas.

Kidnapping karma has stolen me from the blue vistas of
the sea...I weave now the plans of return.
*
Surfers delight in the motion of the angry waves of the ocean
as neptune, king of the sea, delights in their mars
*
Shadows of fishes play in the shallows above varying
shades of abandoned shells.
*
Within a wavelaved rock fissure, God hid the fish from the kingfisher.
*
The rowboat's wake intersected the path
of the morning sun upon the water... effort was squared to
light
*
The sea mirror was framed by lobster traps..
until she rose and smashed them
*
a clamshell holds seaswell..
reflected in captured tide.. does Jupiter abide
*
Waterfall mist asked the sea 'when shall I
return to Thee?'
*
As artists long for blank canvases, as sealovers
yearn for the blue space of the skysea,
the Spirit longs to be uncluttered.
*
So many shades of blue from royal navy to aqua hue.. without
the horizon ship one could not tell sky from sea.
*
Seacradle is fishes rocking among the rocks
but she is slapping at fishermen's docks
For the sun wearing daily a fresh foam frock
helping God on all hearts to knock
*
The full moon lifts seawaves in joy, but only the sun
can lift water drops out of the sea.
*
Blackberry tarts on white lace doilies are the seafoam
framed ocean's dark rocks
*
Ships in bottles cannot sail, but messages unsealed from
bottles do, and their words are meant most for those who
find the script.
*
More than the stable shore God hallows the waving sea's shellshod shallows.

In the kinder world there surely no longer shall be
shellfish shiv'd to shed their sheltering shells from the sea
*
Waves will rise in joy, they know soon
toward the full moon of the longed for monsoon
*
Message in sea's bottles. Tidings in the tides. Time's
rivers flow to the timeless sea. Every being will with God
abide.

Sad was
The sea of being
that
she was not
a river of doing
so God gave her
currents.

While the woodpecker
wooed the woods
with his whittling
she carved caves.

RED CARPET

The sea unfolds
her carpet of silver waves
with constancy..
yet at daybreak
and dusk the sun
wands it into
an unrolling
welcoming
red carpet.

Because of her God

a world of no more suffering

Over fields all fallowing

(to Nita Nickol)

BLUEBLOCK

MARE MIRROR

Some project that the sea raves
as she smashes rocks with awesome
waves
daily nursing with tidal milk
her hungrymouthed caves

POSEIDON TEMPLE

Millenia ago
sealovers builtto Poseidona temple by
the
sea..they hoped
it might outlast the sea..
with its marble pillars
by
the sea's wave
pillows
with its rockhard stability..and unfishy
sterility
by the sea's
ancient senility..
As it has crumbled
into
seagirting sand
it seems to have
multiplied everywhere..in blue
wavewashed tidal pools..
(resembling blue eyesset within noble
brows)..
they lead
to their master:
the Sea Eternal

GULL STACCATO'D

He says the sea
forever chants omkaras she abides
reflecting the
stars.... gull staccato'd.. their screams counterpoint
her
invulnerable ananda.

MERE'S MIRRORS

A storm tossed sea reflectsa fractured Sunas if God were chaoticThe
silent oceanof no motionmirrors God's miraclesand mercy..in the
mere.Even those mooredon the shoreharvest the bliss.

SERMON OF THE SEA

What is the silent sermon of the sea
she bequeaths to
each mermaid and merman
she in seaweed wreathes.What is her legacy in
each leg of the sea? Accept all lonely rivers..Don't strive.. just
be Offer your self to God the Sun
Be at peace beneath gulls' staccato
shrieks.

WHAT ARE THE THISTLES' EPISTLES
Merely let go of your seeds and the
wind will scatter themthe rain will enkindle themthe sun will lift
them

SEA CRASHING UPON ROCKS

We do not always want the sea
to be at peace..
or to be specific
we
don't always
want a pacific
Pacificat
times we want to stand on a
mountainvabove and watch the waves
crash upon the rocks.. the sound
is shakti itself

ENTERING THE TEMPLE

Children enter the temple
of the seasplashing raucously
Older souls
enterwith reverence
slowly silently
They enter the shrine of the sea.

UNBOTTLED MESSAGE

With a rare wave
Bottled messages float to the shore
but with each waveletthe sea's unbottled message
is 'they all love you ever more'

SPARKLING REFUSE

They dig trenches in the sand and bury
their father neckdeep
while with the sparkling
refuse
their mothermakes sandcastles*****

WAY OVER WAVES
waves break the lightway
across the waters into pieces but if the
direction is maintainedone finds again the path to peace

Poems To The Sea II

RESURRECTING SEA

How does the sea heal?

He is trustworthy
Greater than the seal of
the confessional
is the secrecy of the sea.

He is freeing.
I look upon the vast empty canvass
of his seas
and I am released..
free to write my destiny.

He is resurrecting.
As his waves crash upon the rocks
he reconnects me to divine energy.

He is harmony.
My body begins to beat to
the rhythm of his waves
and I return to peace.

PEACEMAKERS

At times they crash upon the shore.. sometimes they gently
lapsometimes.. they rollsometimes they scrollthese waves.. these
peacebreakers.. never breaking the peace..these peacemakers

POSEIDON TEMPLE

GULL STACCATO'D

He says the sea
forever chants omkar
as she abides
reflecting the
stars.... gull staccato'd.. their screams counterpoint
her
invulnerable ananda.

MERE'S MIRRORS

SERMON OF THE SEA

WHAT ARE THE THISTLES' EPISTLES

them

SEA CRASHING UPON ROCKS

ENTERING THE TEMPLE

Children enter the temple of thesea splashing raucously
Older souls
enter with reverence
slowly silently
They enterthe shrine of the sea.

WHITE AND BLUE

Fringe of white sand
then blue of the sea
fringe of white wave
then blue
of the sky
fringe of white cloud
then blue of your eyes

UNBOTTLED MESSAGE

With a rare wave
Bottled messages float to the shore
but with each waveletthe sea's unbottled message
is 'they all love you ever more'

SPARKLING REFUSE

They dig trenches in the sand and bury
their father neckdeep
while with the sparkling
refuse
their mothermakes sandcastles*****

SEA HEALER

Whenever she feels blocked..she goes to thesea
where wavescrash over therocks
see the unbounded skyand the emerald necklaceof seaweed
by seeds shore strewnand then shore sewn
and the sun melting
its gold delight
at dawn into the azure lightand begin to feel
the energy of joy unlocked

SEANILE

SEAGULLS

Not arrow grasping
bunny attacking eagles
but the melodious
singing
shipcircling seagulls...not lone stalkers..
no.. each of them equal
to
his sequel

OCEAN MIRROR

Some project that the sea raves
as she smashes rocks with awesome waves
daily nursing with tidal milk
her hungrymouthed caves

SMOKE AND MIRRORS

Every morn
the sea reborn
is smoke and mirrors..
fog and reflection.
